Braves Place Max Fried On 10-Day IL With Hamstring Injury

The Atlanta Braves announced that pitcher Max Fried had been placed on the 10-day injury list with a right hamstring strain.

The #Braves today placed OF Cristian Pache (strained left groin) and LHP Max Fried (strained right hamstring) on the 10-Day IL and recalled OF Guillermo Heredia and LHP Tucker Davidson to Atlanta.

Fried picked up the injury while running the bases after picking up a hit during his start on Tuesday.

The former first-round pick hasn't gotten off to his best start this season as he's 0-1 with an 11.45 ERA AND 2.55 WHIP. That's a far cry from his performance last season when he went 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. It's not clear at this moment who will take Fried's spot in the rotation or whether they will use an opener from the bullpen to start the games.

Should Atlanta opt for the more conventional approach, then Bryse Wilson or Kyle Wright would likely be summoned. Fried's next turn in the rotation won't be until Sunday.
